Chapter 179: This is money(1/2)
"These bastards simply don't take me seriously."
The emperor, who was sitting at the top, showed no anger or authority. His eyes were a bit sharp, "Master Gu, your marriage to Princess Jiayue was my fault before. I didn't ask for your opinion. You married Jiang Ningcun."
If you are a peasant girl who can capture the water bandits by the Qinlan River this time, I will give her an identity so that she can match your family."
Gu Fengqing's eyes flickered, and he said without changing his expression, "Thank you for your grace. The water bandits are rampant now. If we don't send troops to suppress them, I'm afraid the people will be disappointed with the court. With your majesty's love for the people, your majesty and your highness the prince."
He will surely win the support of the people and become a wise king."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, you are indeed my Gu Aiqing, so I will allow you three thousand cavalry to set off to Qin Lanhe, let them see that I am the king of a country and will never allow their rebellious behavior.
"
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
After coming out of Yangxin Hall, there was a female official standing outside. Gu Fengqing paused and walked towards the female official's position.
"Master Gu." The female officer looked respectful, "My queen, please come over."
Gu Fengqing had a cold face and put the bright yellow imperial edict in the palm of his hand, "Your Majesty has decreed that you will send your ministers to attack the water bandits on the Qinlan River. The matter is urgent, so I will not disturb the queen to rest. I will take my leave."
"Hey, Mr. Gu~"
Aunt Ming just watched Gu Fengqing leave. How should she explain to the imperial concubine?
When Qing Mo came back, he had already prepared dinner. Gu Fengqing handed him the imperial edict in his hand, "I will set off to Qin Lan River to attack the water bandits tomorrow. Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo will stay with me in Gu Mansion."
Don’t worry, you go clean up the yard next to the Gongyuan tonight and let them live there. You stay and protect them. There can’t be any mistakes, do you hear me?”
Qing Mo became anxious when he heard that he would not be taken with him, "Master, you are not taking me with you?"
Gu Fengqing nodded, "The capital is the imperial concubine's territory. She doesn't dare to mess around while I'm here. If I leave the capital, Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo will be discovered. There's no one around to guard them. It's easy for something to happen. Your skills
Second only to Qingyang, he also knows the situation in the capital, so I can rest assured if you stay here."
"But Master, you go alone, there is no one around you, what if it happens again like last time~"
Qing Mo didn't dare to say anything further.
Gu Fengqing knew what he meant, "You don't have to worry. When I go to Qin Lanhe, I will pass through Ruizhou. I will take Qingyang and Dongqing with me."
In this case, Qing Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said that the young master would not be such a reckless person.
The news that Gu Fengqing was going to Qinlan River to attack the water bandits spread like wildfire, and soon Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu came to his yard, looking anxious.
Master Gu saw Gu Fengqing packing things, and there was an imperial edict on the table, "It's so good, why did the emperor send you to the Qinlan River? The water bandits in the Qinlan River are vicious and murderous.
It has always been a thorn in the royal family's heart, wouldn't it be the same as sending death if you go now?"
When Mrs. Gu heard Master Gu's words, her legs became weak. She walked over and grabbed Gu Fengqing, "Son, you can't go."
Gu Fengqing stopped and looked at Mr. Gu, "I know, it doesn't matter."
Mr. Gu wanted to give a few more words of advice, but he really didn’t know what to say. His son had been smart and talented since he was a child, but since what happened last time, he didn’t come back.
He was as close to me as before, but he was even more alienated than his colleagues in the court.
Mrs. Gu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Master, please go to the palace and beg the emperor. Qing'er's body and bones haven't healed yet. If this happens, how will I survive?"
Gu Fengqing took his hand out of hers and said in a not friendly tone, "Mom, don't worry, if something happens to me, wouldn't I still have Gu Qingyang here? The Gu family needs me, and I have one more.
Not much, father and mother, if I come back safely this time, you can write a divorce letter, I don't want to continue to be the son of the Gu family, I want to be an ordinary person."
"Son, you are confused, mother~"
"Fengqing, why are you doing this?" Mr. Gu did not reprimand, and Gu Fengqing did not feel anything in his heart. "Didn't you already give it to Gu Qingyang a long time ago? When my life or death is uncertain, there is no need to say more. I
I don’t have many things, so I will move out tonight, and please prepare for the divorce. After I come back, I will no longer be the son of the Gu family."
For him, the Gu family is no longer the home it used to be. Now his home is Yunmiaomiao, far away in Qinlan River.
Yun Miaomiao learned from others that the man's name was Lian Ziqian. Both of his parents died when he was young. He was brought up by the saint aunt who was respected in the village. He had lived on the island since he was a child and was very outgoing.
Go outside.
However, the strange thing is that Yun Miaomiao did not see anyone from Jiangning Village on the island, not a single one.
Didn't it mean that all the people in Jiangning Village were captured by the water bandits in Qinlan River?
Why aren't you here?
No, she had to find someone to ask before she woke up. Yun Miaomiao was brought back by Lian Ziqian, and when she went to the island, many people on the island saw her and saw that she was gentle and easy to talk to.
, I talked a few more words, and when I heard her asking about Jin Chao’s residence, all of them enthusiastically gave her directions.
Yun Miaomiao quickly found Jin Chao's home, knocked on the door and went in, only to find a woman holding a child inside. When she came in, she smiled and asked, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you on the island?"
?”
She glanced at the small courtyard and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to ask Brother Jin some questions. I just came to the island today, and you haven't seen me."
Sister-in-law Jin yelled and shouted inside, "Master, come out quickly and take a look, someone is looking for you."
Jin Chao quickly walked out of it, his body dirty. When he saw Yun Miaomiao, he was stunned for a moment, "How did you find this place?"
Yun Miaomiao smiled, "I came to you to ask some questions. You also know that I am not from Ruizhou City. My hometown is from Jiangning Village. Last year I heard that you people from Qin Lanhe arrested the entire village.
Here, I want to ask you, where do they live?"
"People from Jiangning Village?" Jin Chao and Mrs. Jin looked unfamiliar and shook their heads, "We have never heard of your place, and this is the first time we go out to arrest people. The previous women were rescued at sea.
You are coming back, or you are fleeing and seeking asylum on your own. If the Holy Aunt hadn't said that the head of the family is coming of age soon, and no women have come to the island for more than half a year, we can't just watch the head of the family get into trouble, so we made this decision and kidnapped you.
Come on, we won’t arrest anyone.”
When Yun Miaomiao heard Jin Chao's words, she felt confused. She clearly remembered that the tea shop owner and Shopkeeper Liu both said that the entire village had been captured by Qin Lanhe's people.
But now, Jin Chao and Mrs. Jin said that they had never heard of this place, which made her very confused. Is there some misunderstanding?
"Are you sure you haven't arrested anyone from Jiangning Village?" Yun Miaomiao couldn't help but ask again.
Jin Chao shook his head, "We really have never heard of this place you mentioned. Miss Yun, have you misunderstood something?"
Yun Miaomiao's mood was complicated. Jin Chao didn't look like she was lying, but in her heart she felt that there was something she had overlooked, so she suppressed this doubt for the time being.
She looked at the child being held by Mrs. Jin, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy suddenly surged in her heart.
"Is this child your son?" Yun Miaomiao couldn't help but ask.
Sister-in-law Jin smiled and said, "This is our youngest son, his name is Jin Lei."
Yun Miaomiao came closer and looked at Jin Lei, who was looking at her with a pair of clear eyes.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and touched his face gently.
Jin Lei seemed to like her actions very much and showed a bright smile.
"This child still likes you. Even since he was born, he can't even touch his father. Miss Yun, you are a lucky person." Sister-in-law Jin said with a smile.
There is nothing strange about this island. Instead, it looks like a village with simple folk customs.
"By the way, Brother Jin, you mentioned to me before, the matter of your leadership~" Yun Miaomiao didn't want to just marry him, she had to find a way to do it.
Jin Chao glanced at Yun Miaomiao and said, "Our head has given us an order to keep this matter secret. We can't tell you anymore. Miss Yun, it's getting late, so you'd better go back early."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Yun Miaomiao could only go back disappointed. She came out of Jin's house and walked along the same road as before.
[Master, I found natural wheat straw, which is worth one penny. Do you want to exchange it? 】
Yun Miaomiao looked around and found that there was a piece of grass under her feet. This should be the wheat straw mentioned in the mall.
But no matter how much money she has, she still doesn’t have a boat~
Yes, boat.
Yun Miaomiao quickly brought up the screen of the mall, searched for it, and finally found the boat she bought before. She couldn't even drive such a big boat.
She continued for a while and finally found a motorboat. But it cost 500 taels of silver.
So expensive~
Yun Miaomiao thought for a while, but still didn't buy it. The people in Jiangning Village haven't figured out where to go yet. She would have to ask a few people. Also, even if she ran away, they could go out and catch other women.
After returning, Lian Ziqian's illness had to be found.
According to what the Jin Dynasty and others said, Lian Ziqian's disease should be a hereditary disease.
This can be difficult to do.
After Yun Miaomiao returned, Lian Ziqian had changed into clean white clothes and was sitting at the dining table, waiting for him to come back for dinner.
"You're back." Lian Ziqian looked gentle, "Brother Jin didn't keep you for dinner?"
Yun Miaomiao put down her chopsticks, frowned, and shook her head, "Lian Ziqian, I am really a married woman and a family man, and I am not joking with you."
"Eat first." Lian Ziqian took a bite of food to her, "Now that you are on the island, you are my woman. The outside world has nothing to do with you. Yun Miaomiao, I like you as a person, even if your heart is not mine.
It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind.”
"I mind~" Yun Miaomiao retorted weakly, "Forget it, it doesn't make sense to you, so just tell me what Jin Chao said about you. I'll cure your illness and you'll be healthy in the future.
If you live to be a hundred years old, go out and find the head office slowly."
Long live a hundred years~
